Caasho-Rebel, maybe Somali history is new to you but instead of opening your azz-crack like a w.hore in need of a john, try to ASK first if such things were discussed or not.
There is a 10-page discussion about the very document you brought (and the same one Wabeey-boy up there says he wanted to use) with Cilmiile, who is a much stronger debater than either you or Wabeey-boy can ever hope to be.
Here is the 10-page discussion about it:

To summarize, Mareexaan fought a glorious war with the British (described in a chapter called the "Marehan Offensive" in the book the King's African Rifles) and Abdirahmaan Mursal, the Cawlyahan leader, supported the British as is written in the same article you brought which led the Mareexaan to then support the British against him:

'A b d u r rahman Mursaal had supported a British attempt to disarm them in 191 3
and, not surprisingly, the Marehan still had not forgotten his collabora t i o n .[/quote]

And the article concludes saying the British could not control the territory BECAUSE of Mareexaan and gave it up to the Italians BECAUSE of Mareexaan:
---"The sheikh had come to Jubaland in 1896 as the first representative of the puritanical Salihiyya sufi tariqa, an Islamic brotherhood. In August 1916, the British received intelligence that he was erecting a mosque in Italian territory near the Dawa River, collecting large tithes from the Marehan, and "attempting to emulate the Mullah."---
---"More importantly, this inability to control the Marehan illustrated just how little control the colonial state exercised on the northeast frontier. This example of Somali resistance certainly would make the British think twice about imposing their dictates in the northeast for some years to come. Indeed, the presence of so-called recalcitrant Somalis there had much to do with the nature of the cession of Jubaland to Italy in 1925."---
Go put a sock it dhoocilayoow..!
Wabeey-boy, my history is such that I forced the largest empire at that time to surrender the territory and give it up while you turned around and leaned forward...!
